Eagles win thriller at AA Center

The Dallas Mavericks could use a few more shots like the one Brock's Amery Hughes made in the Mavericks' home arena recently.

Hughes nailed a 3-point basket that was past the NBA distance of 23.75 feet as the buzzer sounded to lift the Eagles to a 52-49 victory against Hillsboro. The game was part of the Mavericks' annual Court of Dreams series in which high school games are played at the American Airlines Center.

The Eagles (3-0) also participated in the event last season, defeating Bowie 50-44.
